jesus christ!!!!!!!!! I dont know how anyone can find this funny. SOMETIMES PEOPLE GET LOST OKAY!!!! How is it funny that some probably new driver got lost? somebody could have died!

Nobody's perfect. my advise is that you shouldnt always trust that you're always going in the right direction while on a bus.

He wasn't lost. It was the route TFL had told him to go. They were on diversion. If he'd gone down the middle of the road he would have been fine.

@gigglemonkeyforspace You know you have to do extra training and pass an additional test, including a theory exam, to get a PCV (Bus driver's) license, right? I've only noodled around with the practice tests online out of boredom, but from that and general friggin' knowledge I know that you familiarise yourself with the height of your vehicle before you set out, try to go under arch bridges dead-centre if possible, and double check what the sign says for any on an unfamiliar route...

Pathetic, If the driver got lost, he should of stopped at a bus stop then asked tfl, what a fucking idiot

[torontothegood]

was anyone hurt?

@gigglemonkeyforspace people get lost, but if your 8 foot tall you know damn well your not going through that 6 foot door way!

[Osealey]

Funny thing is TFL buses aren't allowed to reverse without a police escort. So either way, he had to stop.

..and if a double decker bus crashes into us

@cogidubnus1953. No, obviously not, my friend. I have thirty years in a massive major communications company in the US. where failure to communicate would be the greatest blemish upon us. Regarding your bus company hiring me would surely be wasting it's time - it's greatest commodity - TIME; while leaving lives and safety struggling for a secondary significance. Good day.

@eddyvideostar I've got 36 years experience in the bus industry....doubt if we'd even employ you...

To: Cogidubnus1953. So, my friend, what world would you rather reside in - the real world? You have evidence regarding the lack of success there. In the "non-real" cyberworld as you are implying, would there not be sufficient information from such, as a map that could give one not only a route, but the gradients and HEIGHT of each underpass? Think about it. My way or yours - where I BOTHER - or your "real world" where you don't? Good day.
